Woodcock Washburn welcomes attorneys and other employees of all backgrounds, interests, and personalities. Our commitment to diversity is reflected in our recruiting efforts and the culture of the firm. Our culture is a mix of professionalism, collaboration, respect, and friendship; supportive of all of our colleagues.

Our dedication to diversity is evident in Woodcock Washburn’s leadership. Many of the firm’s partners are women and hold prominent positions in management and committees. In addition, Vault, the legal industry career guide, has recognized the firm as being “very accommodating to women” and “very welcoming to all racial and ethnic minorities and gays.”

Woodcock Washburn continues to be a sponsor of the American Intellectual Property Law Education Foundation, which awards scholarships to minority law students seeking careers in intellectual property law. Our lawyers have participated in numerous national and local events designed to raise the awareness of the IP profession among minorities and women, often partnering with our clients in this endeavor. A prominent example is our participation in the Philadelphia Area Diversity Job Fair.
